Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet was left red-faced after a goalkeeping error allowed Granit Xhaka to score an equaliser at the Emirates on Friday night.

When Mohamed Salah slotted past Petr Cech to make it 2-0 to the Reds with 52 minutes on the clock, it looked as though it would be plain-sailing for Jurgen Klopp’s men in north London.

Alexis Sanchez then capitalised on Joe Gomez’s mistake to head home a minute later, before Xhaka netted a quick-fire equaliser from distance to level proceedings in a flash.

It appeared as though the Switzerland international midfielder’s effort was wildly swerving in the air as he pulled the trigger from 30 yards, but replays show the keeper should have offered much more than a feeble one-handed attempt to thwart the shot.

Mesut Ozil and Roberto Firmino subsequently scored one apiece to make it 3-3, handing both sides a share of the spoils.
